CBO: doc fix + reconciliation package = $59 billion dollar deficit. The doc fix costs $208 billion over 10 years, so the $183 billion in deficit reduction becomes a $59 billion deficit.

But the doc fix has nothing to do with the bill, it’s pretty much a annual tweak. If you are scoring the health care bill, you would not add the cost of that in unless you just wanted to distort the actual cost of the bill itself.
